We Hate Spam!

We have recently instituted a system of spam control that helps keep the McHenry County Blog a lean, mean information machine. A side product of this process is that in certain cases you might be blocked or challenged to prove that you aren't a robot in order to comment on articles.

If for some reason the automated processes that are in place to prove that you are a human do not work, or if you have any other technical problems with the blog, please email techguy at any time for speedy resolution.

I might say that this guy is always full of unpleasant surprises, but Lakewood residents have become somewhat calloused and numb and are no longer surprised by the nonsensical actions of this man and his mentor, Erin Smith.

We were however very pleasantly surprised when we believed he had seen the err of his ways and actually repented his sins by resigning from the board a few short weeks ago.

Smith must have been furious when Santowski her chosen successor, bailed on her, and then resigned from his position as village trustee to boot!

She knows full well, someone MUST be there to give the crooked developers and other Smith & Peterson cronies and special interests a fighting chance at “their share” of our Lakewood Tax dollars!

Someone has to stop Paul Serwatka and his “Lakewood Tax Fighter/Better Government” Team!

All their madness and ridiculous talk of “accountable government”, “responsible spending”, “lower property taxes” “transparency” and “treating residents with respect”…

It’s just plain madness!

And who better to fight all that talk of “good government” than Santowski – The chosen voice of the status quo, tax-and-spend, lie to those you’re elected to represent in order to reward your friends and cronies with taxpayer money!

I agree with Todd, for a minute there I thought Santowski had a shred of decency by resigning.
